Your organic grocery list

I’ve seen my grocery bill increase a great deal since opting for organically grown fruit and vegetables. This morning I paid $2.98 for a red pepper. RIDICULOUS! We go through so much fruit and veggies in our household. For me alone, I usually aim to eat between 9-11 servings. So you can imagine how much I need my fridge to be stocked. It’s too expensive for me to buy all of my groceries organic, so I prioritize and buy the ‘dirty dozen’ list organic. The Environment Working Group released a list of 48 items from the most contaminated to the least contaminated – click here to see them. The ones towards the end of the list generally have thick skins i.e. pineapples, avocados – therefore the innards are safer. The ‘dirty dozen’ is a great reference guide for your organic items and the clean fifteen items are safe to eat non-organic! Print it off and take it with you to the store!!
